PPL is still taking precautions to limit in-person interactions and on-site verifications. Please remember that we require that you and your crew wear a non-surgical or homemade mask when working in situations on our behalf.
Data logger shipping: During the coronavirus pandemic, we may be sending data loggers to customers/contractors that we would normally install on-site. For our customers’ safety and peace of mind, data loggers will be sanitized before packaging and mailing. They will be shipped at no cost to customers, and all return shipments will be discussed with each customer/contractor at the end of the logging period. We will include an insert in the package that details how to send the equipment back in a safe manner.
For guidelines and updates as the coronavirus pandemic evolves, please visit our Coronavirus Resources webpage.
Welcome to program year 12!
Program year (PY12) began on June 1, and we thank you for continuing to support the PPL Business Energy Efficiency Program to help our customers achieve their sustainability goals.
Program measures and incentives will remain the same. Visit our Resources & Tools webpage to download flyers, case studies and FAQs.
Pre-approval is still required on all projects. Pre-approval means that a project application must be submitted in good order and receive a pre-approval letter before construction begins.
Government, Non-profit and Education sectors will continue to be waitlisted through PY12.
Direct Discount Program
The Direct Discount Program continues to offer $0.13/kWh saved annually on eligible prescriptive projects and $0.14/kWh on custom projects, up to 80 percent of the project cost.
The program manual, customer agreement and FAQ sheet have been updated on the
website for PY20.
Reminder — New construction is not eligible under the Direct Discount Program. Applications that contain the following project details may be determined as new construction; verify the details with the program team:
New construction, building from the ground up
Complete renovation project (including retrofit) in which project space is gutted
Space type change from warehouse to office, manufacturing or any change in building type
Lighting retrofit and HVAC retrofit completed at the same time
The building or project space has been vacant for a length of time
Photos — Pre-install and post-install photos are required for every project. Photos should be clear and include: a) Front of business where measures are being installed; b) Photos of the fixture types being replaced, to identify type and wattage, and; c) A few wide shots of the areas being retrofit, to identify the quantity. Additional photos may be requested to confirm project details.
